Answer:
Contribution per unit of scare resource (in hour) = $24 per hour
Explanation:
The question falls under the limiting factor analysis
<em>When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate it for production purpose in such a way that </em><em>it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.</em>
Therefore Santario Company should allocate the machine hours to maximize the contribution per unit of machine hour.
Contribution per unit of scare resource is determine as follows:
Contribution per unit of scare resource for Model K-3
Contribution per unit of Model K-3 = $6
Machine time per unit = 15 minutes
<em>Contribution per unit of scare resource in minutes</em>
=Contribution per unit/Machine time per unit
= 46/15 minutes
= $0.4 per minute
Contribution per unit of scare resource (in hour)
$0.4 per minutes× 60
= $24 per hour
Answer: The correct answer is "C. produce because revenue of $1 comma 000 is greater than fixed costs.".
Explanation: The firm should produce because the revenue of 1000 is enough to cover the fixed costs and part of the variables (1000 - 800 - 600 = (-400)) so that the loss is less than if it stopped producing despite the avoidable costs (800 - 350 = 450) since if it stopped producing it would have a loss of $ 450 and producing it would have a loss of $ 400.
Answer: Functional
Explanation: The functional structure of an organisational chart places people with similar skills who perform similar activities in a group under a common manager who answers to an executive a level up in the hierarchy who may oversee multiple departments. Therefore, an organizational chart of a company showing vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support would reflect a functional structure.
An advantage of the functional structure is that employees are allowed to focus their collective energies on executing their roles as a department but sometimes they might develop tunnel vision (seeing the company solely through the lens of the employee’s job function) and often at times there is a lack of inter-departmental communication.
B) Added value
Explanation:
Added value - It is an improvement to the product or service making it more worthwhile.
Competitive advantage makes the product or service more desirable than other competitors.
In this scenario, there is no competition of the services as yet, but definitely has an added value by improving the services.
